Last week, Marvel gave us DOOM, a one-shot where writer Jonathan Hickman let artist Sanford Greene take the wheel and tell a balls-out story about the hastened death of the universe. It ruled. Hickman is following that up with Wolverine: Revenge, a five-issue miniseries where, much like DOOM, he is letting artist Greg Capullo take…
Normally, as a true fan of The Big Lebowski, I hate the f*****g Eagles, man. Except in one instance: The 1985 soundtrack to the TV show Miami Vice. Nevermind that it was my mom’s favorite show at the time, or that it popularized Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight.” It also included two bangers from…
Doc Ock gets brutal. A member of the band goes solo. And the fight goes mecha! All that and more in Spider-Punk: Arms Race #3, written by Cody Ziglar, drawn by Justin Mason, colored by Morry Hollowell and Rico Renzi, and lettered by Travis Lanham. Picking up where issue 2 left off, issue 3 starts…

Things are looking bleak for our merry mutants as Wolverine lies metal-less and bleeding and the Gold Team are captives of Bastion. The X-Men must regroup and find a way to fight the future (or just travel there) in the season finale of X-Men ’97, “Tolerance Is Extinction Part 3,” written by Beau DeMayo and…
She’s keeping the hair. She’s keeping an artist who knows how to draw her. She has a Black writer. She’s not returning to any sort of 1990s-era status quo involving the mansion or Blue and Gold teams or a costume you can’t tell is black or white. You guys … I think Storm might be…
If Captain Britain is Britain’s Captain America, Union Jack is its … Hawkeye? Sure, let’s say that. A blue-collar, working-class guy more likely to be played by Jason Statham. Hey, have any of you guys seen The Beekeeper yet? I’ve heard it’s pretty good. Anyway, Union Jack has plenty of experience with vampires. He was…
In the early to mid-1980s, Marvel very much saw Dazzler as her own thing. Originally planned as a multimedia IP tied to actress Bo Derek, those plans fizzled with the death of disco, but didn’t keep Alison Blaire from starring in her own comic book for 40-some issues before she was folded back into the…

Each week, ComicsXF staff offer their recommendations for what to read. New DC books come out Tuesdays (for now), everything else Wednesdays. Dan’s pick: Doom #1: With Valeria Richards at his side, Doctor Doom goes on a quest to harness more power than any human has ever wielded before to try to stop Galactus from bringing…
Storm has spent the past few years not so much as a superhero but as the leader of a people, defending the broken land of Arakko from threats foreign and domestic. It would be a disservice to the character to simply put her back on the X-Men. So let’s make her an Avenger again. At…
The quick-step march to the end of the Krakoan era continues as Doug Ramsey returns, Mystique and Destiny hash things out, and Hope prepares to do some “messiah stuff” in X-Men Forever #3, written by Kieron Gillen, drawn by Luca Maresca, colored by Federico Blee and lettered by Clayton Cowles.
